The Social Impact Fellowship offers a fully funded, six-week summer intensive designed to provide students with an opportunity to deepen their knowledge, and build new skills and capacities to pursue social impact initiatives and careers. The summer session is a competitively paid opportunity that generally runs from July to August at Columbia World Projects on the Manhattanville campus of Columbia University. After the six-week summer intensive, students will remain engaged with Columbia World Projects during the academic year as they receive mentorship, participate in hands-on learning opportunities, meet thought leaders and social impact innovators, and gain insight into the work of Columbia World Projects.
Inspired by the Obama Foundation Scholars Program, which has welcomed rising leaders from countries around the world to Columbia’s campus since 2018, Columbia World Projects is expanding its commitment to educating and training the next generation of leaders by launching the Social Impact Fellowship for Columbia University undergraduate students.
Rising juniors and seniors at Columbia College, School of General Studies, School of Engineering and Applied Science, and Barnard College are eligible to apply.
